How to ride a bicycle, how to whistle (that one I can attribute to learning the flute before trying to whistle; the embouchure messed that right up), and how to say stethoscope out loud properly (I always say stethsocope.)

I can't roll my "R"s (more than once) so it's never fun for me when people start breaking out in them for no reason then force me to try and do it despite my insistence that I've already tried a thousand times unsuccessfully. Assholes.
As for things I should know... if I don't know something I should know, I usually don't know it, so only when I do finally know something I did not know but should have known would I know that I should have known it. Know what I'm saying?

OT: um....I suppose I'm not a great cook, as in if there aren't directions on the box I can't cook it
I'm confused. How do I know the things I don't?
Alright, I'll just list the things I do know:

No, that's it.

I have no idea how to use the washing machine, everything on it is written in German, wtf?!
I can only cook basic meals, i have never tried to do anything beyond putting food on the frying pan and turning up the heat, well i can make pancakes and boil eggs so..
I can`t write or speak English properly, how i managed to get 94% on my English exam is a mystery to me.
I don`t know my own phone number and i had it for years.

Anything having to do with finances and taxes confuses the hell out of me.
I understand a lot of physics that escapes most people, including some of the implications of quantum mechanics, but somehow (and this really frustrates me) electricity and magnetism still may as well be magic.
I don't know how a firewall works, the significance of an IP address, or what the hell a proxy server is. My attempts to correct this have mostly failed by becoming fizzled wikiwalks in an attempt to learn more elementary concepts.
And Blender. I could solve nearly every problem I have in my work if I could just master Blender, but it's been difficult to get far with it for some reason.

I should know how to do DIY, but I don't. I say this because my dad is a big DIY guy, he's worked in the building industry his entire career (started as a carpenter, now he's a contracts manager, he worked his way up) and he did a lot of DIY over the years. He even built an entire first floor to our house, which used to be a bungalow. But even though I helped him with little jobs like sanding down woodwork or painting the decking in the garden, I don't know how to do proper DIY. He sees it as quite a failing in both me and my brother... 
I should know the monarchy system apparently since I'm British...however for the life of me I can only just remember who's in the crown at the moment, let alone who's next...it's some horrible twisted formula.
Also I'm not sure if it counts, but I'm also meant to be a MANLY man, and I can't catch spiders...probably doesn't count...don't tell anyone though ok?

I don't really know how to drive, and I don't know how to cook anything more complicated than "boil water and drop in noodles". I also have horrible handwriting, I haven't learned to improve it or anything since about third grade.
